Weird. I have no idea why, but this is opening a file read-only (a -w flag
would have told you that :).
Here is a workaround:
use Symbol;
$fh = gensym;
do {
'lo all,
I took a look in my copy of the Perl Cookbook for temp file recipes.
(I love that book.) They have two examples. (I have modified them a
little here.) The first one is good to use as long as you don't need to

I'm helping test/port the Bioperl package to MacPerl and I've run into a few
problems that have prompted some questions.
Is there an equivalent to "make test" under MacPerl? I've used Chris
Nandor's excellent "untarzipme.plx" and "installme.plx", but there doesn't
